More Silence to Come I haven't been posting much lately and I'm afraid there's more of that to come. I'm leaving Monday morning for a week-long silent metta and vipassana retreat and I won't be back until sometime after the 11th. In the mean time: May all beings be happy. May all beings be safe. May all beings be free.

Catching Up Here's the recipe for the fabulous Diva Dinner we made last Monday. (Sorry Divas, I just didn't have time to post it last week) Steamed Salmon and Asparagus in Parchment (The photo shows halibut, but I used salmon instead.) Heat oven to 400. Cut two pieces of baking parchemnt (15 x 15 inches) for each serving. We cooked for three, so there were six pieces. Place one piece of parchment, per serving, on a cookie sheets. Add new potatoes (sliced) then top with salmon steak...

Just one more I've got more stuff to post about, honestly, but I've been crazed at work, etc etc, and all I have time for is one more of Carolyn's photos. This is another view of the beach near her house. If all goes well, I'll be strolling along it myself the last week in May.

Still more This one is of Gulang Yu, or "Piano Island," where there's a museum full of pianos left by the 19th century British. It looks like an opera set!

Another view How exotic can you get! Carolyn says I should schedule a layover in Shangai on my way back, so we can spend the weekend in the "big city" before I go home. I'm getting totaly psyched!
